One of my favorite mods - a blue FW3A that I swapped SST-20 Deep Red into.

This is with a fresh Molicel P26A 18650.

Thing rips.

But I mostly use it at low levels where it’s very efficient.

I love deep red because it does not attract insects and it’s gentle on your eyes at night.

    Not attracting insects is the best part about having deep red in a headlamp. It sucks having your face attacked by 1000 june bugs

        I wonder if green lights attract less bugs too?

        google says: “The study showed that 22% of bugs were attracted to the blue spectrum, while 18% were attracted to white, 10% to yellow, 2% to red and 4.7% to green.”

        “green light attracts the most fish”

        “results found that the green light was the most attractive to mosquitoes. There was 43.3% of all the insects collected in the green light trap. The blue light attracted 31.8%, and only 24.9% went for the incandescent traps.”
